Apr 13, 2011
how to adjust the default settings of my drawing units. I have adjusted these so that if I create a new drawing they are set as I want them. But when I output a drawing from
I work with a land surveying package. I use both AutoCAD 2006 and R14. When I export a cad dwg from the survey software and open it in R14 my drawing units are as I want them E.G Direction Control = North = 270 and should be set to clockwise. If I open the same exported drawing but in 2006 the settings change. If I create a new drawing in 2006, the settings are as I want them.

Everythime when starting a new project I first go to 'Options' > 'Units' > 'Page units' and set it from 'Inch' to 'Pixels' is there a way to set this as default ?
Note: I'm currently using the old free version Xtreme 5 Silver because lost the paid version after a system format and register code that didn't work anymore, perhaps of newer version there an easy setting for that, on this one I haven't found it yet.

Every time I open Xara I have to change the default settings under "Utilities", "Options", "Units" from inches to pixels. There are other default settings I'd like to change as well, but my question is how do I change those settings to default so that when I open Xara, I don't have to go reset them? This is a PITA! I have searched through the help files and don't see any info on changing the standard default settings!

I am using Autocad Architecture 2013. When I type in "units" and hit enter, two Chinese characters show up in the command line. If I continue to hit enter, it allows me to change some values but a dialogue box never displays.

I just installed autocad architecture 2012. when i opened it to start creating a new drawing/project the unit of measurement was in Millimeters.. i needed the Unit of measurement to be in architectural units, so i used the units command to change it to architectural units. the problem i am having now is that i think the Grid Scale is still in MM. when i tried to draw a line on the grid the line appeared to be tiny. the length of the line was 36'-5". i adjusted the scale to 1/4"=1' but that didnt change anything. in order to see the line that i drew i have to zoom in so much..
How do i adjust the grid scale to be the same as the units?

I want to change the default precision shown in my drawing from two decimal places to three. In my .idw file the "Units" tab does not seem to be there. I see Standard, Sketch, Drawing, Sheet. I could change each dimension one by one, but there's got to be an easier way.

Our school rercently updated to Inventor 2014, When working starting a new assembly we seslect the standard mm ipt icon, however as soon as you create a new compont it defaults to inches, we can change the units using styles editor, but this only changes this componont when you create another part it also defaults to inches.
Can you change the setup so that it will always be in mm.

I am working on AutoCAD 2014 and every time I receive and open a new file from our collaborators in Italy, the file units "turn into" inches.
This means that I have to go to Drawing Utilities, Change the units to cm, and then have to Scale everything so that the measurements make sense again.
I've gone into OPTIONS and have set CM as thed default measurements, but this problem persists. I know that the office in Italy can't possibly be working in inches, so I'm assuming there's something that's "lost in translation" when it comes to opening the file on my end.

Is there a way to adjust the settings in pan, zoom, and orbit. I've been using these commands with my mouse button and wheel. These 3 commands are not behaving properly. Whenever I make a small scroll on my mouse, the view port zooms all the way until I cannot see anything, which is very unlikely. The same goes when I use Orbit, a small movement/click in my mouse, makes a very big difference in a view port.
But everything goes well whenever I start new drawing.

Where is the configuration for the Default Template Measurement units stored? Have tried creating an application options file, but on the clients this setting is not read/stored (still set to inches after import).
Is this setting stored in the registry? Where?
...and why does Inventor default to a non metric measurement unit?

I am trying to resize the artboard so it will be an exact size in pixels. However whenever I use the artboard tool, the contextual toolbar will show me the size in mm. I went to Preference > Units > General and while it appears to be set to show pixels, it doesn't seem to affect the artboard measurements.

In every other Adobe program you can control the "ratio" of the small caps function by percentage. (The small cap is 80% of the large cap, etc)
I'm not seeing where I can adjust this vital setting in Photoshop, any version.

why it seems that Revit ignores the Project Units setting in the template file when opening an IFC file? Even when the template is targeted in the IFC open dialogue?
The IFC was exported from ACA 2008 with the Imperial units set.After opening the IFC file in Revit 2012, the project is set for Metric, even though the referenced template (.rte) is set up with Imperial.

I had tried to draw in different units in autcad other than inches, but fail to find i way. I tried going on tutorials, but all they say was to type in:
"Type in Unit in command
Press enter
A option will pop up
Change Units to whichever.
Okay so I tried this, and I change it to feets. The problem is, that whenever i draw a line, it would always be in inches. I want to find a way to draw in feets, so how I can do this.

I am experiencing with an old drawing I am trying to open. The problem seems to lie in that there is a hidden scale factor being applied to the dimension.
I draw a line that is 1.27 long. When I dimension the line the resulting value is .635. I have double checked that my primary units are set to a scale factor of 1 and the problem still persists. Even more strange is that if I set the primary unit scale to 1.5 the resulting dimension value is correct at 1.905, with primary scale of 2 the dimension is 2.54, etc. I have used AutoCAD for many years and never run into this issue.I am dimensioning in the model space when this occurs and using AutoCAD LT 2012.

I am familiarizing myself with the existing drawings here. I am working on version 08 (was previously on 07). I opened a dwg in 08 and received an error message "Newer AEC Object Detected" stating that some commands would not be available. With no other option I opened the drawing and discovered it was in metric. I went up to the Format tab as I normally would to change the Units to Architectual and discovered that there was no option to change the units. Even typing in Units in the command bar didnt do anything. It seems as if this drawing was originally created in 07 and now OPENS in 08 but you lose commands? It used to be that you couldnt even open something it was created in a older version, no? Luckily a PC in the office does have 07 and I was able to open it there to change the units over but I cant do this every time.

I have drawn a couple of small buildings. I'm using meters and plotting to A3. For some reason the in the layouts I have to put in a scale of 15:1 and 8:1 to see the building when I print.
I have looked at some other buildings that people have drawn, they are of a similar size in real terms. However they are plotting to 1:25.

I am using AutoCAD LT 2012. I am having a problem getting a drawing to be the proper scale and units. I pulled a drawing in and it has been drawn 1' = 1 unit. I really would like to get it so I can make 1 unit = 1". I need to preserve the current dimensions in the drawing.

What if you are making a floor plan, and in that floor plan you are making a computer room that has two desks side by side (when put together) they measure 6' long.
Also, there's a simcard for the slim cell phone, on the desk.
How do you address this issue with respect to AutoCAD? Can you switch units mid stream?

Is there anyway to create a default setting so that units stay in pixels. Each time I bring in a new image in Photo-Paint X6, I have to reset units back to pixels by clicking Tools, Options, Document, Ruler. It would a time saver if I could somehow make pixels a default setting.
